Mike Vrabel Issues Clear Message After Patriots Victory Vs. Ravens

The New England Patriots got back on track in Week 16 with an exciting 28-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. After the game, though, head coach Mike Vrabel had a clear message he made sure to send to his team.

For much of the night, it looked like things weren’t going to go the Patriots’ way. And yet, they managed to rally from an 11-point deficit late, thanks in large part to the best outing of Drake Maye’s young career (31/44, 380 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT, 10 CAR, 25 YDS).

The New England Patriots clinched a playoff spot for the first time in four years with Sunday’s victory over the Baltimore Ravens.

Josh Allen, Travis Kelce Best Drake Maye In Late Pro Bowl Voting Surge

Josh Allen, Travis Kelce Best Drake Maye In Late Pro Bowl Voting Surge

Pretty much everything’s gone right for New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye this season.

The second-year pro is an MVP contender, his Patriots clinched a playoff berth in Week 16 and the team is in good position to win their first AFC East crown in six years.

Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills, meanwhile, lost four of seven games during the middle of the season and may finish as the division’s runner-up and things have been even worse for Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs.

Kelce has posted mediocre numbers and the three-time defending AFC champions have not only been eliminated from playoff...

Stefon Diggs Sends Message On Patriots Pursuing Other Receivers Before Him

Patriots injuries put ‘next man up’ mentality to test against Ravens

It did not take long for the injury bug to bite the New England Patriots on Sunday night. Just 10 plays into the game against the Baltimore Ravens, at the tail-end of a 25-yard pass play, wide receiver Stefon Diggs had to exit for the blue medical tent.

After some protest on his part, Diggs eventually returned to the game to finish with nine catches for 138 yards. But while he only missed five offensive snaps, others were not quite as lucky: several of his teammates were unable to finish the contest altogether.
